Covid 19 found on BC Mink farms

[Catherine]

Things are even more serious. Hundreds of mink have died at the BC mink farm.  They caught covid 19 from the farm workers. The video shows workers tending to the mink without masks or gloves. So no protection to prevent the virus from being spread. If the farm workers were not tested for covid they could easily be coming to work carrying the virus.

It is not fair to the mink to expose them to a deadly virus like that. They have no chance to escape it. It is not wise for us to keep mink farms going when they can be a reservoir for a deadly virus.

In every way possible mink farms need to be stopped. 
I am not sure how we should do it. The massive culls Denmark used have created new problems. Disposing of millions of dead mink have contaminated the ground water and infected mink have escaped.

We are creating a whole new set of disasters by the way we are handling this.
